Oh, Mary!

About Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! at Trafalgar Theatre, London is an uproariously dark comedy by Cole Escola, directed by Sam Pinkleton. Set in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination, it follows a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln and explores unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires in an 80-minute one-act play.

The production received Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton). The New York Times described it as “one of the best comedies in years”.

For the upcoming London transfer, Mason Alexander Park stars as Mary Todd Lincoln.

Running time: 1 hour 20 minutes, with no intermission.
